The Runaway Groom Chapter 551
Irene realized immediately that Debbie must have transferred herself back in the country while she was gone.However, she was too tired to even stand, and simply nestled against Isaac's neck while pretending to sleep, reluctant to talk to Debbie.Once outside, Debbie opened the door for Isaac, who carried Irene inside.They headed straight home, and Stephen returned home as well. Sheryl Harris had cleaned the house and their rooms when she learned that Irene was returning, while Mrs. Watson cooked up a storm.Irene felt that she was home for the first time in a while."Welcome home." Sheryl was beaming, and she had cajoled Tommy to welcome her as well.Mrs. Watson stood nearby with a cheerful smile as well. "Ma'am."Irene crumbled right then, and her tears were already gushing. Sheryl walked up to her right then and wiped her tears. "No tears, or you're going to cry easily from now on."Isaac had called ahead that Irene had delivered their child prematurely, so the child ha

Isaac had to coax Tommy with his toys before the boy finally let go, and Sheryl scooped him up in her arms. "Come in already.""Yeah," Isaac replied, and headed to the bedroom with a hand around Irene's shoulder.Once he closed the door behind himself, he swiftly gathered her in his arms, knowing that she was saddened that Tommy had grown distant to her. "I know you love him, and how difficult it was for you to keep him back then. He loves you, but he needs time to remember since you've been gone for a while."Irene knew that, but she just could not help feeling despondent, so Isaac had to gently pat her on the back.After a while and her mood improved, Isaac let go and said, "I'm getting a bath ready."He headed inside the bathroom, prepared a tub full of hot water that filled the room with vapor. Then, he helped her undress, but Irene caught his wrist. "I can do it myself—""I'll help," he insisted, not because of libido, but only because he wanted to take care of her.It

Isaac looked up at Irene just then. "Yeah?"She wanted to ask if Debbie was responsible, but realized that she had no proof."What is it?" Isaac held her gaze, sitting on the bed just then.Irene hesitated for a moment, but eventually asked, "Did you tell Debbie to come back after James's accident?""No," Isaac replied. "James had her transfer back earlier.""Really?" Irene thought that Debbie did that to James just to make it back, but since the case was the exact opposite, it would look as if she had no motive. It meant Irene's hunch was wrong, and could she have been paranoid?However, she knows that Debbie wanted Isaac, and would be only too eager to return to Isaac's side."What is it?" Isaac asked.Irene shook her head. "It's nothing.""Okay. Now get some proper rest," he said, pulling the blanket over her."Yeah," she said, and closed her groggy eyes.Isaac waited until she fell asleep before leaving, closing the door behind himself.Sheryl walked up to him, aski
The Runaway Groom Chapter 554
Zachary demanded, "And how did you find out?"He was no idiot—only Lulu's close friends knew that she had gone missing, but none of them knew if she was just hiding or dead.Although Ember told him that his mother had a hand in Lulu's death, he never asked her because he was afraid of what she would do.But his own mother had just said that Lulu was dead too. What was that if not an indirect confession? "Are you questioning me?" Mrs. Slate screamed right then. "Is this how you speak to your mother?!"At the same time, Peter Lindt made his move.He and his wife were naturally on their daughter's side, and they certainly were aware of Lulu's death since they had planned it, but Mrs. Slate was the one who pulled the trigger.That gave them leverage against Mrs. Slate, not to mention that they would have Ember's back even if she was at fault. Glaring at Zachary, Peter barked, "I thought you were the best choice of groom for Ember and could take care of her for the rest of her l

Isaac promptly turned back to James, asking, "Is he waking up?"Zachary quickly checked the monitors, but soon said, "No, it's just a routine beep to show that it's working."There was a look of disappointment in Isaac's eyes—it naturally hurt to see James like this. That was when Erin Gooding suddenly entered with an empty bucket, and she did a double take when she saw them. "Oh, it's you."Isaac cast her a cold glance and left the ward in silence.Zachary followed, presuming that Isaac did not know Erin and said, "I never knew that James was dating her. I thought she was up to no good when she showed up.""And?" Isaac growled."She's a fine woman—"Isaac stopped right then, and turned to look Zachary in the eye. "What makes you think that?""I mean, she's been camping outside and slept on the bench when I denied her entry. Seeing that she was sincere, I eventually let her in, and I don't think she's left since. She's caring for him 24/7 and learning from the physiotherapist

The next day, Irene woke up to the sight of a pair of tiny cheeks that resembled Isaac's, and she reached out to touch them.Suddenly, Tommy got up and ran off, though Isaac soon entered.She slept soundly last night. But although she did not know what time he returned, the dark circles under his eyes made it evident that he had not slept.It had been the case over the last few days and weariness showed on his face.Getting up, he told her, "You should sleep."Isaac sat on the bed then and held her hand. "Stan has already hired the best private detectives for the job and I need to meet them soon. I've also arranged for a protection detail for you while I settle things over there."Irene certainly understood that having to travel to and from Minerva was difficult, and could not help feeling sad. She was so preoccupied with her own grief that she forgot Isaac was the father too. He must be hurting too, right? She raised a hand and placed it gently on his cheek.It was a gest

Irene quickly asked, "Who are you?"The person on the other end was silent for a moment before laughing coolly. "Forgotten all about me already?"Irene finally placed the voice. "Harvey Gooding?"She was uncertain, however, because the voice somehow sounded weird."Are you sick?" she asked."...It's just a minor cold.""I see. So, you're getting married? I remembered you saying that you didn't have anyone…"Irene was quite surprised that Harvey would suddenly say that he was getting married. "Anyway, congratulations—don't worry, I'll definitely send you a gift.""No, you have to attend my wedding." There was a clear demand in Harvey's voice!Irene became silent for a moment, but said, "Sorry, but I'm busy."She turned toward Tommy and patted his little head.Isaac was not around, and she was still in the middle of her postpartum care and should not leave the house.Moreover, Harvey was in Sunny City—she might have considered it if he was holding it somewhere closer, but Sun

Debbie placed everything she brought on the table, saying, "Mr. Jefferson asked me to buy these."Irene glanced at it and said, "I see.""Take your time and get some proper rest," Debbie said and turned to leave.However, just as she reached the door, she stopped and turned again to look at Irene. "It seems that all you do is bother Mr. Jefferson.""And what about it?" Irene coolly retorted."I'm positive that I'm so much more competent than you at work, just as I would make for a better partner in a relationship. At the very least, I won't mess up time and time again, making Mr. Jefferson worry constantly."Ireen glared at Debbie darkly—Debbie was definitely exceptional because she managed to stay with Isaac for so long.And having made her return now, she was much more direct with Irene.Irene thought that it was a good thing—it would at least spare the need for pretext, and she would not have to worry constantly about suddenly finding a dagger on her back."I'll play my rol
